Trump on his multiple suits against the federal government: "I'm supposed to work out a settlement with myself ... We could make it a substantial amount, nobody would care, because it's gonna go to numerous, very good charities."

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Teaching the Revolutionary era is so wild rn because the founders knew this could happen, an anti-democratic tyrant could destroy the whole experiment, it was what they most hated about the king and what they most feared. This needs to be the lesson we sing the loudest as 250 approaches

There is a child across the street who was out shoveling snow & I was kind of impressed, until I realized she was dumping the snow from her sidewalk *onto the house's front porch and stairs* to construct a massive sled run from the front door. Now I am like "get that kid an engineering scholarship"

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.
